In the tradition started by Bhagavan Rishabhdev the ninth
Tirthankar re-established the four pronged religious ford was
Bhagavan Suvidhinath During his earlier incarnation as emperor
Mahapadma of Pushkalvati Vijay purified his soul to he extant of
earning Tirthankar-nam-and-gotra-karma. He took birth in the
Vijayant dimension of gods and from there he descended into the
womb of queen Rama Devi, wife of king Sugriva of Kakandi town.

During the period of pregnancy queen Rama developed a strange
capacity to develop processes for doing even the most difficult
of tasks. Everyone got astonished at her skill. When the child
was born the king accordingly named him as Suvidhi (correct
procedure). During the teething period of the child the mother
got a craving for playing with flowers. As such, he was also
popularly known as Pushpadant (flower-tooth).

Suvidhinath had a normal princely life, but with detachment.
He became an ascetic at an early age and attained omniscience
only after four months rigorous spiritual practices. He got
Nirvana at Sammetshikhar on the ninth day of the dark half of the
month of Kartik.

Extinction of the Religious
Ford

The tradition of the four pronged religious ford started by
Bhagavan Rishabhdev gradually became extinct after the Nirvana of
Bhagavan Suvidhinath. After his death, first the ascetic
organization disintegrated and a time came when there was no
ascetic left. The religious discourses two were given by common
citizens or Shravaks. Slowly the influence of wealth became
overpowering and people started forgetting the principals of five
vows including Ahimsa and truthfulness. The discipline of
spiritual principles gave way to ritualistic exchanges of wealth
and total indiscipline
